Host Praveen Ranganath, MD is joined by FiRST Committee members Shruti Hegde, MD; Ady Orbach, MD, MSc; and Jonathan Pan, MD for a candid conversation on navigating the transition from cardiac imaging training into the first year of attending practice. Tune in and enjoy!

On this industry-sponsored episode, host Praveen Ranganath is joined by guest Dr. Pete Tomlins, Head of Innovation, Caristo Diagnostics, to discuss the FAI-Score, a novel imaging marker that enables doctors to see coronary inflammation, the previously invisible underlying driver of heart attacks and stroke. Tune in to learn about:

1. Pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) imaging - a ‘biosensor’ for invisible coronary inflammation
2. FAI-Score – transforming PCAT imaging into a standardized clinical measure of coronary inflammation
3. The future of cardiac risk assessment – combing invisible inflammation with visible plaque on CCTA

On this episode of the Donut of Destiny, hosts Sotirios Evangelou, MD, FSCCT and Nisha Hosadurg , MBBS speak with guest Alan Vainrib, MD on how computational fluid dynamics (CFD) is emerging as a powerful research tool for understanding blood-flow behavior in structural heart disease. Using CT/MRI-based models, CFD can simulate pressures, velocities, shear stress and even post-procedure hemodynamics — offering new possibilities for evaluating aortic stenosis, planning TAVR and guiding mitral, tricuspid and LAAO interventions.

In this industry-sponsored episode, host Praveen Ranganath, MD is joined by returning guest, Amir Ahmadi, MD, FSCCT to discuss the paradigm shift from an ischemia-driven to an atheroma-driven approach to cardiovascular disease. Tune in and enjoy!
